About this listen

A spy is dead. A legend is born. This is how it all began. The explosive prequel to Casino Royale, from bestselling author Anthony Horowitz.

Forever and a Day is the story of the birth of a legend, in the brutal underworld of the French Riviera, taking readers into the very beginning of James Bond’s illustrious career and the formation of his identity.

M laid down his pipe and stared at it tetchily. “We have no choice. We’re just going to bring forward this other chap you’ve been preparing. But you didn’t tell me his name.”

“‘It’s Bond, sir,'” the Chief of Staff replied. “James Bond.”

The sea keeps its secrets. But not this time.

One body. Three bullets. 007 floats in the waters of Marseille, killed by an unknown hand.

It’s time for a new agent to step up. Time for a new weapon in the war against organized crime.

It’s time for James Bond to earn his license to kill.

This answers the question of how James Bond became 007 … well worth a listen. Loved the narration… if Horowitz writes another in the series, I hope Goode returns as the narrator.

I bought it as novel but could never get around to reading it. It was awesome to listen to it, acted out so well and with convincing accents.

Classic Fleming with perfect narration by Mathew Goode. I’m hoping Horowitz does a prequel to this prequel.

Enjoyed this story. It is your typical James Bond story so if like that you will enjoy this. The narrator is perfect for this story. His voice can be a bit hypnotic as there are no highs or lows, just the lull of his one tone voice.
